Rosický missing Finland friendly due to illness

Captain Tomáš Rosický will miss the Czech Republic’s soccer friendly
against Finland on Wednesday due to illness. Rosický, who on Saturday won
England’s FA Cup with Arsenal, joined the Czech squad on Monday afternoon
but on Tuesday reported gastroenteritis and has not travelled to Helsinki.
Coach Pavel Vrba said he was disappointed but in any case wanted to
experiment without the creative midfielder for part of the game.
